CONCRE-SET – CONCRETE SET ACCELERATOR

Able Westchem — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 03:14:35 +0000

CONCRE-SET – Concrete Set Accelerator is a chloride-free liquid admixture concentrate formulated to accelerate concrete setting and improve early trowelling and early-strength development, particularly in cold weather. Recommended for professional use only. Suitable for general concrete, reinforced concrete, precast concrete, concrete repairs and cold-weather applications where faster setting is required.

Benefits

Accelerates initial and final set
Improves early-strength development
Reduces waiting time before finishing
Assists earlier formwork removal
Suitable for cold-weather concreting
Chloride-free formulation, reducing risk of rusting / corrosion to reo bars and concrete cancer
Ready-to-use liquid

Directions for Use

Recommended Dosage

Typical dosage is 2–5 litres per cubic metre of concrete. For faster setting, cold weather or rapid-turnaround applications, dosage may be increased up to 10 litres per cubic metre of concrete. For applications previously using standard calcium nitrate 50% solution, commence trials at approximately half the previous dosage. Example: Where 20 litres of calcium nitrate 50% solution was previously used, commence trials with 10 litres of CONCRE-SET. The optimum dosage will vary depending on concrete temperature, cement type, concrete mix design, batch size and the required setting time. A trial batch using the actual concrete mix is recommended before full-scale use.

Method of Addition

Add directly into the concrete mixer or agitator after the batch water has been introduced.
Do not add directly onto dry cement.
Mix thoroughly for at least 2 minutes after addition to ensure uniform distribution throughout the concrete.
Where other admixtures are used, add each product separately unless compatibility has been confirmed.

Important

Excessive dosage may result in:

Rapid slump loss
Reduced placing and finishing time
Excessively rapid setting
Variable concrete performance

Do not exceed the recommended dosage without prior testing. Concrete performance may vary with temperature, cement source, aggregate, water content and other admixtures.

Storage

Store in the original sealed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Protect from contamination, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Recommended storage temperature: 5°C to 45°C If crystallisation occurs during cold storage, warm the product gently and mix thoroughly before use.

Shelf Life

12 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly in the original sealed container.

Safety

Refer to the Safety Data Sheet before use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep out of reach of children.
